The San Francisco 49ers showcased a balanced offensive attack against the visiting Los Angeles Chargers.

The rushing offense was punctuated by two touchdowns, underscoring their ability to find paydirt on the ground. Through the air, the passing game added another dimension to their offense with a total of 240 yards on an efficient completion percentage of approximately 68 percent.


Defensively, the San Francisco unit was formidable throughout the contest. They recorded three sacks and nine quarterback hits that disrupted the rhythm of Los Angeles' passing game. Additionally, they forced one interception and one fumble which they turned into six return yards – crucial plays that contributed to keeping points off the board for their opponents.
